00:00One of the group chats that students and parents always have whenever it rains is,

00:05Is it still raining?

00:09Most of the time, the complaints reach the school of students before the class suspension declares another place.

00:21Is it possible to have an early class suspension announcement whenever there's a storm?

00:26Here's what you need to know.

00:30Jose Marichana and Mariah Carey did not hesitate to join us at the start of Bear Months.

00:37On the first week of September, we experienced a strong storm.

00:44First of all, President Bongbong Marcos ordered local government units and government agencies to issue an amnesty

00:52when it comes to class suspension and entry to work.

00:57More than 8 to 13 tropical cyclones are expected to hit the country this year.

01:09To avoid having to wait in line,

01:12if there's no class, here are some important things to remember.

01:18Remember that face-to-face and online classes from kindergarten to grade 12

01:24are where tropical cyclone wind signals are issued based on expectations.

01:30This is based on Depet Order No. 37, Series of 2022.

01:36If the class has already started before the expected signal number is raised,

01:41the classes must be suspended and students and teachers must go home.

01:46But of course, safety first.

01:48Otherwise, school heads will be forced to stay inside the classroom.

01:55Under these guidelines,

01:58face-to-face and online classes from kindergarten to grade 12

02:03in places where there's an orange and red rainfall warning based on expectations

02:08and in places where there's a flood warning based on expectations

02:12must be suspended from kindergarten to grade 12.

02:19But what about college students?

02:23Aren't you waterproof?

02:28Based on Executive Order No. 66, Series of 2012,

02:32classes at the collegiate level and graduate school

02:36are already suspended based on the expected tropical cyclone wind signal No. 3 or higher.

02:42But what if there's no warning based on expectations

02:46but there's a strong rain and wind in your area?

02:49Local chief executives or barangay captains,

02:53municipal or city mayor, and provincial governor

02:57have the authority to declare a suspension of classes

03:02if the wind is strong even if there's no storm.

03:05They also have the authority to declare a suspension of classes

03:09if the wind is strong even if there's no tropical cyclone wind signal,

03:13if there's a strong rain even if there's a yellow warning

03:20and if there's a flood in their area.

03:26Although school heads and higher education institution heads

03:30can also cancel classes if there's a strong rain,

03:33flood, damaged roads, and so on.

03:38If we're just talking about guidelines,

03:41it's also stated in the CHED Memorandum No. 15, Series of 2012

03:45that before 4 a.m.,

03:48on the day of the cancellation of suspension of classes,

03:51local chief executives and institutional heads should be informed.

03:57If there's still no expected hashtag No Entry Advisory

04:00to be reported on TV or social media,

04:04it's for the discretion of parents or guardians

04:07if they will allow their children to attend

04:10provided that there's a really bad happening in the area.

04:13For those who are already in college,

04:16don't resist being strong independent if you can't take it anymore

04:20because the time that you can't attend or do activities

04:23such as exams, even if it's a bad time,

04:26you will still be given another chance to fight and recover

04:30according to the CHED Memorandum.

04:32Wait a minute.

04:34Why is it that one day,

04:36LGUs are caught on suspensions?

04:39The number one reason for this

04:41is that they are waiting for the latest weather forecast from Pag-asa

04:45to make sure that their decision is accurate.

04:50Back then, LGUs were already warning

04:54to be quick in looking at the situation in their area

04:56so that they can make a quick decision

04:59on the cancellation of classes in the school.

05:01It's important to have an early warning on the suspension of entrance

05:05so that the students can be away from the danger of calamity

05:09especially if there's a strong typhoon coming to the Philippines.

05:12This kind of action is bad,

05:15especially for those who live in coastal areas

05:18that need to cross the water to be able to enter the school.

05:23And also for the far-flung and flood-prone areas in our country.

05:29Even though class suspensions are good for everyone's safety,

05:33it's also a friendly reminder

05:35to avoid breaking the class' suspension when there's a calamity.

05:39Because of the times when you don't want to sleep,

05:42with the matching hashtag Khazal Weather,

05:44there are some people who need the hashtag Saklolo.

05:49Do you know where the evacuation center is?

05:52Do you know the evacuation center?
